He has a point of view like no other writer I have encountered, producing the most poignant moments rendered from events happening in a crowd. This writer is due for a major revival, I can feel it; he was totally famous mid 20th century in France. His masterpiece is "Men of Good Will" which I am now reading. So you are fortunate to have been directed to him, however clumsily or circumstantially. I just read “The Death of a Nobody” by Jules Romains, and found it incredible and unique.
